Exclamation Anil Ambani's email ID hacked


Quote:
NEW DELHI: Unidentified hackers attempted what seems to have been a cleverly disguised phishing attack on billionaire Anil Ambani, who may have suffered a resultant breach of security on his computer.

The attack, now the subject of an investigation by the Cyber Crime Cell of the Mumbai Police, happened on May 8, when the 52-year-old chairman of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group and the fourth-richest Indian received an email that appeared to have been sent by an India-based reporter of global financial newswire service Bloomberg.

Ohh! that's some kinda Phishing Attack!!

But wonder how Mr Anil is so n00b about his tech life. No security at all !!

(i think this is some kind of promotion activity, Mr. Anil has kinda good security, and is connected to their own server for internet activity. Such corporate houses uses own servers for mailing activities!)

There was a news today that TATA's surpussed Ambani in terms of market valuation. I guess he was trying to make some quick bucks.
